《The Fortune of Rebirth: The Counterattack of the Princess》C21. Arresting the Assailant
Advertisement
Qinghe struggles to her feet with severe pain in her leg. Liyi who stands close to Qinghe is startled by her sudden movement and pushes her subconsciously. Qinghe falls on the ground, and the things under her suddenly fall scattered.
Everyone is taken aback when they see what were packed in the oiled paper. Scorpions, centipedes, spiders… Although they are dying, they are also living poisonous insects. In addition, there are other two small bags which people cannot see what’s inside.
Qinghe is petrified and knows that their secret has been exposed. Originally, Qinghe came here today at the order of Miss Shuang. She needs to place these dying venomous insects, together with the venom, into the yard of Miss Ling.
Then, Miss Shuang will take Mrs. Yan here and catch Miss Ling right on the spot. However, Qinghe didn’t expect that she would be bitten by a black dog as soon as she stepped into the yard.
The great pain terrifies Qinghe, and she can't stop screaming, which drew the attention of the crowd. Now, what Qinghe has to think about is how to explain to the public.
Just when all the people are talking, a shout suddenly comes from the crowd, "Here comes Miss Ling!"
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looks back and they see Yan Ling standing not far away, and is looking in this direction with her eyebrows knitted.
Seeing Yan Ling coming here, they all step aside automatically, leaving a road in the middle. Yan Ling ignores the crowd, and makes her way directly from the middle road, approaching Qinghe.
Qinghe lowers her head and shivers. When Yan Ling comes to her, Qinghe just sees a pair of embroidered shoes stopping in front of her.
Qinghe's face is as pale as a sheet. Now she only hopes that Miss Shuang can bring Mrs. Yan here to help her out. If this matter is handled by Miss Ling, Qinghe thinks she is unlikely to escape death.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Yan Ling stands high and her voice comes above the head of Qinghe.
Qinghe is stiff, and subconsciously says: "no, I don't know, I didn't do anything."
Yan Ling couldn't help sneering and says with a little irony, "Did I say that you’ve done something wrong? You're so nervous. Isn’t it because you feel guilty? "
Qinghe realizes that she have made a mistake, and hurriedly defends for herself nervously: "Nothing. Why would I be nervous for? I…I was only frightened."
Yan Ling ignores that. Looking at the forced smile on Qinghe’s face, Yan Ling continues: "Naturally, it's our fault that my dog bit you. But I want to ask you, Qinghe, instead of serving in my sister’s yard, what are you doing here? "
Seeing that Yan Ling doesn’t mention the punishment for her at the beginning, Qinghe thinks that this is because Ling is afraid of the status of Miss Shuang. Suddenly Qinghe feels that she catches the straw that can save her life. Then, she makes up her mind not to confess what she did.
"It's Miss Shuang. She asked me to come here and send something to Miss Ling." Qinghe pretends to be calm.
"Oh? Is it? Then I want to see what my sister asked you to send. Where is it? Take it out." Yan Ling laughs.
"It ..." Qinghe is stunned. She can't say that Miss Shuang actually asked her to deliver the poison there.
"I came here in a hurry, and I forgot to take that with me. I will bring it to you immediately, Milady." Qinghe still wants to find an excuse to leave.
"What you said is really interesting. You said that Miss Shuang asked you to send Miss Ling something and again you said that you left it in Miss Shuang’s yard. Are you making a fool out of everyone?" Before Yan Ling speaks, Liyi becomes indignant.

"No, I didn’t!" Qinghe used to embolden herself, but now she roars with great courage.
"It’s not just because you said no? There are so many people watching! My Lady, look at the poisonous insects on the ground. They fell out of the paper bag in her pockets." Liyi says without making a concession.
Yan Ling looks at people around her. All the noisy people become quiet all of a sudden.
They did see the scene just now, but Qinghe is the favorite maid of Miss Shuang, and Miss Ling has never been favored by the Lord. Under this situation, they do not know what to say.
"Why don’t you say something? There are so many people here. Is there anyone who dares to tell the truth? Qinghe is so arrogant. You must have been bullied by her frequently. Do you still want to help her at this time? "
Facing the expected silence, Yan Ling frowns and feels a little helpless. However, just when Yan Ling is going to continue to ask, Liyi suddenly raised her voice. The inflammatory words suddenly break the surrounding silence, and everyone seems to be eager to try.
Yan Ling looks at Li Yi, and the barest hint of a smile appears on her face. She doesn't speak and continues to wait for the reaction of those around her.
After a while, a girl stands out hesitantly, and says with a little nervousness, "My Lady, we saw that those things did fall from Qinghe."
Things are hard in the beginning. Now that someone has started, all the others stand out, scrambling to say they have seen it.
"Qinghe, what else do you have to say! I think you clearly want to frame Miss Ling with these filthy stuff. The rumors in the house must start from you." Liyi points to Qinghe and her face turns red.
"No, I didn't, I didn't..." Qinghe has lost her momentum for a long time, and she keeps shaking her head.
"Death knocks your door and you still refuse to admit. What a stubborn girl. So, let's wait a little longer. I'm sure Mother and Miss Shuang will arrive soon. "
Yan Ling smiles coldly and says with disdain, "Let’s see if you're still as tough as you are when your master comes."
Qinghe is frightened by the cold words of Yan Ling. Not until then does Qinghe realize how terrifying Miss Ling is.
"What's the matter? It’s so indecent with so many people gathering here!" Speak of the devil and he comes.
At the gate of the yard, a group of people appears following Mrs. Yan and Yan Shuang. Yan Shuang immediately became excited. It seems that she feels that her plan is perfect and she just needs to wait for Yan Ling’s trouble.
However, what Yan Shuang didn't expect is that Qinghe, her personal maid, had been exposed. What’s more, she was caught in the act.
"Milady! Help! Please, milady!” It seems that Qinghe knows that Yan Shuang is coming, so she burst out crying, as if her savior finally arrived.
